All Chapters of The Stoic Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Quinn is arriving in my pack today. The woman I’ve had a crush on for years, long before I turned eighteen and knew she was my mate. Since that day, I’ve been totally, completely, in love with her.‘We both have,’ Clovis, my wolf purrs in my head.‘Easy, Clovis. She’s still underage and I have no intention of having a repeat of what happened to Emlyn happen to Quinn.’‘Well, since we don’t have a witch casting a spell on us, I’m pretty sure we’re okay,’ he says snarkily.“Emerson, sweetheart, did you need my help with anything? Is Quinn’s room ready for her?” my mom asks, interrupting my conversation with my wolf.“It is, mom. Thanks.”“Are you excited, honey? You’ll have three Guardians in your pack.”“We have more pack members and more sprites, especially since we got the influx of pack members from Shadow Falls pack, so it makes sense that we’d have more Guardians,” I say, matter of factly.“Always so serious, my son,” my mother says, watching me closely. “Are you at least a little

Why the fuck hadn’t I figured out how to tell Quinn that I was her mate? Oh, right. I hadn’t planned to tell her at all. I was going to wait until her eighteenth birthday, when she called me mate, and until then, I’d planned to threaten anyone who even looked at her with interest.But after talking to my mother and also seeing how sad she looked at dinner, I want her to know that she’s here for more than just protecting the pack. She’s here for good. I want her to know that she’s mine.Uncle Liam picked up on what I was saying earlier, and he basically threatened me to be a good mate to his daughter. I’d like to say that’s what has me flustered, but it’s not that at all.It’s the absolutely stunning woman in front of me who smells like mandarin oranges. I had walked in, knowing that she’s going to be mine in a couple of months, and all I had wanted to do when I saw her standing there in that gorgeous dress that brought out the color of her eyes was to strip it off of her and make her

My wolf is not happy with me.‘That’s because you’re an idiot,’ he grumbles in our shared mind space. My wolf and I have never disagreed. Until now.‘I’m not an idiot. What was I supposed to do, escort Quinn around the pack? Everyone already knows her.’‘So what? She’s never been a Luna before and she’s OUR Luna, even if she’s only acting Luna. You didn’t even tell that pack that she’s our mate and their true Luna,’ he growls at me.‘Clovis, you’re giving me a headache.’“And let’s not forget the disappointed look on her face when you didn’t even kiss her last night! You told her she’s your mate, made her your Luna, and you couldn’t even be bothered to kiss her? What is wrong with you?’I definitely have a headache. I’m surprised Clovis let me sleep at all last night.I finish getting ready and stop at Quinn’s door to get her for warrior training. When she doesn’t answer, I gently press my mind against hers, in case she’s still sleeping. It would be unusual, but yesterday was a lot for

I had no idea how much I was going to miss Quinn when I went to Cohen's pack. I’m used to living without her, but now that she knows she’s mine, now that she’s in my pack for good, I want to be there with her. I want to watch her spread her happiness and sunlight all over my pack. Our pack. I need to remember this pack is as much hers now as it is mine. Which makes me wonder how my father will respond now.After reminding Rich that he has no place to judge me or Cohen for being mated to his sisters, we were finally able to get down to business. Since I’m the one that has heard that there is another Alpha with a vendetta against us and the Guardians beside Alpha Wyatt, I give what little information I have. We need more. We need to know who it is so that we can watch them and not have a sneak attack.After lunch, Emlyn interrupts us to bring Leander in for Rich to feed. The moment she puts their son in his arms, smiling down at the two of them, I feel a yearning like nothing I’ve ever f

No one in my life has ever dared to lay a hand on me. My parents never did and no one else would ever hit their future Alpha, so feeling Quinn’s hand across my cheek was unexpected, but it shouldn’t have been. I was way out of line. If she had disrespected one of my sisters like I did to her brother, I would have reacted too.However, I had walked into my packhouse and seen my mate, her perfect ass cheeks hanging out from under that shirt, talking and laughing with my warriors, her long muscular legs on display for them and everyone. I’ve never considered myself a jealous man until that moment, but I had seen red. For the first time in my life, my emotions had overpowered my brain. It hadn’t even been a competition. I had acted without thinking and I had directed that anger on my mate. It was wrong and I shouldn’t have done it, which is why I won’t allow her to apologize publicly. I was as wrong as she was.All of my life, I have strived to remain calm, to be a dutiful, thoughtful, an
